If only William Haines could act. He was a better silent actor. But I don't think he could deliver a spoken line. And he was still overacting like he was still in the non-talkies.

Hope and Crosby they ain't, nevertheless this a better than average battling buddy comedy, with the prize being Esther Ralston. William Haines is the irresponsible, devil-may-care rival of stolid, duty-first Conrad Nagel. Edgar "slow-burn" Kennedy also is on hand. But the outstanding performance is from the diminutive Armida as a chili-peppery Spanish dancer in eternal pursuit of William Haines. Without her this would be a 21/2 star movie. The fast paced, nonstop action turns a bit serious toward the end, but fortunately this doesn't last for long.
The print is soft, but otherwise in good shape. It's complete except for a few missing frame dropouts of no consequence.
